Did 2 lists. First, the column on the right with multiples of 7. Then a column on the right, adding 3 to the number on the left:

7 1014 1721 2428 3135 3842 4549 5256 5963 6670 73

Then went though it to find a mutliple of five+1. Whole thing didn't take a minute to do.

Personally, when it comes to remainders, simpler is better. Lots of algebra looks great and sophisticated, but often is confusing and time consuming. I think this method, though not "as fancy", yields the right answer nearly immediately.

Note that asdert started with multiples of 7. That's the right move. S/He could have started with 5, but then there are just more numbers to write out on the list. So start with the higher number, then make the other number conform.
